Rivers2K, sorry for your bad experience. You're right, the grips should be replaced if they cannot be fitted properly. That said, 2 points stand out to me: 1) you have a grip problem, not a gun problem. Grips get changed out on guns a lot according to the owners needs, and while they should be absolutely right on a new purchase, a grip issue is not in the same league as a gun issue, imho. 2) When you pick up the gun at your FFL, prior to filling out the paperwork, you need to inspect the gun for any apparent issues. If you don't do that, then you are accepting it as is. Now, a good retailer and a good manufacturer will make things right, but you have to own a little of this too. Chalk it up to lessons learned, and I speak from my own experience.

I'm betting you can get some replacement grips sent out without too much trouble, if you are polite and persistent. The members here have a deep well of experience to help you out, and they will.
